I welcome the new director general, Mr. Connaghan, and wish him luck in the role. He has a hard job ahead of him and will be under constant scrutiny, which is of importance in regard to the spending of public money. The Comptroller and Auditor General stated that the overall spend was €15.2 billion for 2016 but €13.64 billion was referenced in Vote 38 health. Can the witnesses explain that difference of €1.6 billion?
